RURAL AREA VETERINARY SERVICES

Rural Area Veterinary Services (RAVS) is a non-profit veterinary outreach program combining community service
and veterinary mentorship to bring free veterinary services to underserved
rural communities where poverty and geographic isolation make regular veterinary
care inaccessible.

Each year six RAVS staff members and more than 350 volunteers
provide essential veterinary care for more than 8,000 animals, all at no cost to the clients or communities
we serve. In addition the program provides valuable training and experience
for hundreds of future veterinary professionals that goes far beyond anything
they could learn in a classroom alone.
